青春的影子 加东学子西岸游

图文/刘耀国(Steve Low)

我们加东的亲戚有个女儿上月联同她的大学同窗友好们一共十人, 趁开学前来温哥华玩了七天. 不同族裔的同行者多数是土生土长, 第一次踏足西岸.

大概是出发前做足功课, 又得高人指点, 这里有什么好玩的东西、那里该是必去的地方己了如指掌. 他们利用出租车, 脚踏车, 安步当车, 深入体会西岸的生活情趣.

第一天他们就去Grouse Grind 爬上松鸡山. 松鸡山山径峻峭, 尾段几乎是垂直而上, 本地人用来缎练体能, 外地人抱着不到长城非好汉的心理来做个「征服者」. 第二天去Deep Cove 深湾玩好似独木舟的kayak 皮艇, 很多本地人也未必试过. 以后的几天各人都玩得开心, 可能是没有了跟团或随家长出游那样刻板之缘故吧.

忽然想起「一旦羽翼成, 随风四散飞」. 让这两句代表今日青年人自立自由, 便是好现象. 现在请大家跟随年轻人的镜头去看看我们的城市.

From east to the west coast – 7 days in Vancouver

Joanna and her friends, some from University of Waterloo , some were the first time set foot on the west coast, had spent one week in our city last month, everyone seem to enjoy their stay.

They did the GRIND, kayaking in Deep Cove, which most of us haven’t try, visited UBC,

SFU atop Burnaby Mountain, tried out the foods at the night market and all around

town, walking along Georgia , Robson and Granville Island, biking around Stanley Park , rode the Sky trains, met with friends and relatives etc.

These were all very nice, but the fun and joy we see from the following pictures, by Joanna and friends, are the fun and joy of freedom. Free from travel agency and parents.
